Why is it that bowling alleys don’t just have their ‘normal’ floor surface extend all the way up to the point where the lane starts? I feel like it would save lots of time and money, at least on the part of your average-bowling-consumer, to be able to wear your regular, non-stanky, and hopefully-not-circus-looking comfy shoes when hurling large weighted balls around. And, yes, granted – I’m sure that most people have now worked out a technique that works best for bowling in slightly slick shoes, but there’s absolutely no reason why we couldn’t have all just started out in tacky shoes and learned an equally efficient method of bowling without the drastically increased likelihood of slipping and breaking our hips. I think I’ll be eternally baffled by the fact that our recent ancestors had to invent special shoes for every pseudo sport known to man. Then again, I suppose they came from a time when people still believed in god… nobody’s perfect. sigh.

You know the adage/old wive’s tale/lie that we only are using 10% of our brains at a time? I think it might have some more merit than once thought – Assuming we were using 100% of our brains at any given moment, that probably would mean EVERY neuron inside your skull is firing at once… and if I’m not mistaken, I think that’s called a seizure.

I wish life was more like the movies, where I could stop cars, flash a fake badge and scream, “I’m a Police Officer! I need your car!” before commandeering it for a joyride wherein I end up being shot at by bad guys, drive off overpasses, and blow out no less than three of its tires.
